15 'WTF Did I Just Pay To See' Horror Movies

15. Evil Dead II

Evil Dead II is one supremely weird horror flick - in a good way, that is. Even if it doesn't quite live up to the unbridled brilliance of its predecessor, it is WTF cinema of the very best kind. There is a good reason this remains one of the most acclaimed horror sequels out there. 

To start with, it's a sequel that breaks all of the rules. It is both a sequel and a remake, retelling the entire story but with only two of the first film's characters and furthermore, it completely changes genre. While the first film was a masterpiece of straight-faced, dark horror this sequel is instead a gloriously wacky horror-comedy filled with campy scares and quotable one-liners. 

From a corpse doing an impromptu dance to protagonist Ash's (Bruce Campbell) unforgettable fight with his own, possessed hand, Evil Dead II is a wild ride, a delightful explosion of creativity that completely levelled up and redefined the entire franchise forever. 

To echo the film's most iconic line: "Groovy!"
